What kind of cattle are you fencing in? Used 6 strand myself but with dry cows although have used it with blks and was fine too

micky mouse

suckers.whats the idea of the 9 polywire.is it that you have a bigger"kick" out of it ,or do lads use it for longer distance

Muckit

What kinda distance are you talking about? Is it around by boundary?

Mild steel galvanised tying wire could work out a better job and easy enough take up again in the future.

Polywire strands can burn out. That's why the more the better. I personally wouldn't chance it around a boundary especially if you have a bull or your neighbours have.

5 or 6 acre field,bull with cows.if ya have a length of mild steel wire unrolled,does it"spring",is it easy to gather up,be a cheaper option and stronger.could ya put the pullers on it,would it snap easy,if taking down reusing

Muckit

No you can't put pullers on it, but you don't need to. No it doesn't 'spring' up into a ball like high tensile wire.

I think it'd be ideal for your job. It's cheap wire abd you can reuse it again.
